In 2019, Luminis Health Anne Arundel Medical Center (AAMC) achieved our second Magnet® designation as a reflection of excellence inpatient and family-centered care, nursing professionalism and teamwork. Magnet recognition is awarded by the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s (ANCC) Magnet Recognition Program®, which ensures that rigorous standards for nursing excellence are met, and excellent patient outcomes are achieved.
With this prestigious credential, AAMC joins the Magnet community—a select group of fewer than 10% of U.S. hospitals. So far, only nine other hospitals in Maryland and two in Washington, D.C. have achieved Magnet® recognition since the program’s inception in 1990.
